33 sāgarovamas 33 sāgarovamas 78. Now we come to the khetta paliovama (sutt a No. 392-398) which represents a still higher number. This is also divided as suhuma and vāvahāriya. Here, in the case of the vāvahāriya, the space-points pervaded by the hair-tips (the number of space-points being greater than that of the hair-tips) are conceptually taken out each at one instant. In the case of the suhuma, the space-points pervaded or not by the parts (sic.) of hair-tips, in other words, the total number of the space-points of the store are taken out each at one instant.2 The conception of sägarovama in these cases is the same as in the other two kinds of paliovamas. The substances enumerated in the Ditthivăa are measured by means of the suhuma khettapaliovama and sägarovama.
79. The sutta No. 399-426 give an account of the substances described in Jaina philosophy, in confirmation of the vastness of the contents of the Ditthiva. In this connection, various kinds of bodies associated with different kinds of living beings are detailed at length, demonstrating the Jaina thinker's love for mathematical estimate of things and speculations about supersensuous objects.
80. Bhāvappamāna, the fourth division of pamāna, is explained in sutta No. 427-520. It is divided into three categories, viz. (1) gunappamāna (ii) nayappamāna and (iii) samkhappamāna.
81. The gunappamāna is twofold, viz, jivagunappamāṇa and ajīvagunappamāna (sutta No. 428). Under the latter, colour (vanna), smell (gandha), taste (rasa), touch (phasa) and figure (samthana) and their subvarieties are mentioned (sutta No. 429-434). The former, that is,
1. The Commentary(p. 178A) gives the reason why our Text says 'space-points
pervaded or not instead of directly referring to the total number of the
• space-points of the store. 2. Vide Translation, sutta No. 394, 396.
